pioneers of mary (MYO)
MYO Mission Statement
The primary purpose of the MYO (ages 12-18) shall be to promote the spiritual welfare of its members, to strengthen youth groups in the Maronite faith, to have prayer days, to learn more about each other and to grow socially and intellectually.
Our goal is to build a community of teens and adults. In this community, we hope to create opportunities for the development of personal faith, service to others and systematic instruction in our Maronite religious tradition. To achieve this goal, we will:
* participate in liturgies
* hold annual and regional youth retreats
* assist the needs of local parishes
* support eparchial organizations and activities
* hold monthly meetings and prayer services
* organize fundraisers for local churches
* hold social events to promote American Lebanese heritage
* understand and promote "Faith of the Mountain" series
